Off the Hook Barenaked Ladies
Barenaked Ladies
Off the Hook
This is a favorite of mine and I couldn't find a tab of it anywhere,
so I figured it out. I made this tab from the Demo version of the
song. Listen to the song of the timing.
I recommend playing the C chord as a barre chord in A formation
everywhere aside from where it specifies open.
[G]All around the [Em]room your things are [Bm]placed
And next to you he fills the space[G]
And so it [Em]seems your saving [Bm]grace is only saving face
[G]The pictures of [Em]the two of you o[Bm]n holiday, on honeymoon
[G]You thought that he was [Em]wanting you,
[Bm]But he was only wanting you to
[A]Let [Bm]him [C]off [F]the hook
[G] [Em] [Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm]
[G]He was your [Em]imaginary [Bm]friend,
[Bm]You were partners til the [G]end
Then something [Em]bends, and then it [Bm]breaks, your worst mistake
Accepting [G]enemies on [Em]bended knees; [Bm]a litany of tragedies,
You're [G]vexed, it seems you're [Em]hexed and after [Bm]sex he expects
You'll let him [A]off [Bm]the [C]hook [F]til
G Em D C (open)
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
[G]Shaken [Em]while he [D]stirred. When you [C]awaken you will
[G]Make him [Em]eat his [A]words [Bm]right [C]off [F]the [G]hook [Em] [Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm]
[G]The credit card [Em]receipts, the dirty [Bm]sheets
The souvenirs of men who cheat[G]
It all makes [Em]sense - with each [Bm]offense
You wanted to believe him
[G]He could get [Em]away with murder [Bm]one,
And you would clean the smoking gun[G]
With every [Em]crime, you bought each [Bm]line,
But not this time, you'll make him
[A]Eat [Bm]his [C]words [F]cause
G Em D C(open)
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
[G]Shaken [Em]while he [D]stirred
C(open)
When you awaken you will
[G]Make him [Em]eat his [A]words [Bm]right [C]off [F]the hook
[G]Ev[Em]ery [Bm]Time, [G]Hook [Em]and [Bm]line
[G]Ev[Em]ery [Bm]time, [G]Hook [Em]and [A]line[Bm] [C] [F]
G Em D C(open)
Something that you heard while you were sleeping left you
[G]Shaken [Em]while he [D]stirred
C(open)
When you awaken you will
[G]Make him [Em]eat his, [A]make h[Bm]im [C]eat [F]his
[G]Words while [Em]he's [D]alone,
C(open)
Cause you won't be around and
G Em A Bm C F G Em D C(open)
[G]Hook [Em]and [D]line,[C]
[G] [Em] [A] [Bm] [C] [F] [G]
